I had leftover brisket + white bread from dinner the night before and decided to make a melt/grilled cheese. It was insanely delicious. I barely thought about taking this photo before I dove into it. What made it worthwhile was... Continue reading

Thanks for your encouraging words Sojin! :) I am trying to be more thankful this year too. We can always use a little bit more of that, right? :)
the good life
On my drive home after dinner last night with an extraordinary bulging stomach, it dawned on me how thankful I am for this upcoming year of life. For the past 2 months, I dreaded my birthday and the thought of turning another year older. Along the way, I must have vocalized it enough or my ...

portillo's-esque cupcakes
If you've ever been to Chicago, you've probably had an Italian beef from Portillo's. It's one of the best around! But their chocolate cake is equally delicious and very inexpensive! I had always heard rumors that they used mayonnaise to... Continue reading

cellist love
At the south end of the High Line Walk in NYC, we heard faint sounds of a cellist that drew us close. Loved the contrast of the polished cellist against the bright blue tattered tentative wall. It was so peaceful... Continue reading

Adorable. Love it! :)
make someone happy: no. 01
I'll never forget that morning 11 years ago as I watched the world change forever. As I took the subway from Brooklyn into Manhattan on my way to work, I watched it all unfold from my stalled train under the Manhattan Bridge. The ability to see the strength in people and the joy we can bring t...

A few months ago, my sister and I took a fun trip to NYC for an extended weekend... I knew on the trip that I had to stop by the memorial which was entirely different than the last time I... Continue reading

running 0.1 miles at a time
I started running this summer. Just to give you a frame of reference. I’ve always despised running. I’m not athletic. I could walk forever, but running is a beast that I never dared facing. I always admired those who could... Continue reading

Her eyes say it all - full of wonder and awe! So sweet! Growing up, my parents didn't say it much to us... but now, my mom won't ever hang up the phone until we say it to each other. She usually says thanks after I say it too...
happy friday + saying i love you...
Happy Friday friends! Today, I wanted to end the week by talking about those "three little words". Growing up with Asian parents who immigrated to the US, Bob and I both can count on one hand the number of times we heard our parents say "I love you" to one another. It's not that they didn't lo...
saving all my love for you!
ah... I miss you Ms. Houston! I've been listening to her songs over and over again and it's bringing me back to my junior high days with over-sized sweaters, voluminous bangs and leggings (guess things are still the same sans... Continue reading

December seemed likes a blur... actually most of 2011 does. I met up with a friend recently and he asked... how was 2011? I couldn't really specify any details except it felt like a blur. So I was pretty eager... Continue reading

love love LOVE Club Monaco!!! I especially love the 70s... reminds me of early photos I saw of my mom when she was in her late teens/ early twenties... wish she kept some of her clothes, especially her bags/purses. Too bad I can't fit into her shoes!

When I was younger, the thought of taking a trip somewhere excited me so much that I'd often pack my bag weeks in advance! Only to have to go back into my bag to find something I needed/wanted prior to... Continue reading

Let's hope I keep up with it. It's pretty darn hard at times!
bridesmaids!
I really want to see this movie, the Bridesmaids. I think it'll be such a comic relief. Not to mention the funny cast! After all, I hear it's the girls' version of the Hangover. And I'll admit it. I laughed in that movie. A. LOT. Can't wait for Hangover 2. In the meantime, I'll be catching this ...
